Saudi Journalists and Academics Speak Positively of Israel
(Jerusalem Post) In a tweet on Friday, Hamza al-Salem, assistant professor at the College of Business Administration at Prince Sultan University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, said, "I expect that if peace were made with Israel and the visa and entering and exiting process were made easy, it [Israel] would become the top tourist destination for Saudis. It is one of God's most beautiful countries in terms of its nature and development. It has combined the spirit of the beauty of the east and west, old and new civilizations. When we have made peace with Israel, exploitation of it will become nonexistent. The government will not accept inciting against it." Saud Fozan, a journalist for AlSharq.net, tweeted in October, "I am not here to defend the Jews, i.e., the Israelis, but truth be told...show me one Israeli who killed a single Saudi, and in return I can list 1,000 Saudis who murdered their own kin with explosive belts by joining al-Qaeda and ISIS."
